Abstract

Active teaching methods that aim to promote engagement and the consequent student autonomy have gained strength through the use of virtual learning environments (VLEs) that facilitate personalization and streamline content. In this perspective, the present article analyses the possibilities of using the Online Professor (PO) platform, domain of the State Public Schools of Ceará, as a contribution tool for implementation of the active methodology of Flipped Classroom (SAI). For that, it presents the active methodology SAI and the virtual environment PO, exposing the resources available in this virtual environment that can contribute to the inversion of the classroom. Next, we analyse the data obtained through an interview about the teachers perception about the PO and the active SAI methodology. The data show that the interviewed teachers, although they identify familiar traits with their teaching practices, are unaware of the active SAI methodology and do not use all the potential of the virtual environment PO as a facilitating teaching tool.
